Can't we just outsource prisons?

Send poor people to serve time in some third world hell hole. Send rich people to serve time in some vacation paradise.

When naming your blog, why did you choose an oxymoron of such contradictory terms? Sort of like Microsoft Morals. Or Apple Humility.

Thanks

Hi Florian,

Thanks for being interviewed on Slashdot.

Could you please give us an estimate, if you have one, of how much innovation has been destroyed by patent trolls? Also, if you happen to know, how many startups?

Thanks

Who (or how many parties) paid you to do a Q&A on Slashdot?

Thanks

While I agree with what you say about height, I think it overlooks something of greater importance. I am more interested in increasing the size of something else rather than overall height.

Over a year ago I could pick up sub $100 Android tablets at my local Walmart. And there are actual third party applications that are available for Android. Sub $100 Android tablets make good children's toys.

Windows OS X -- Mount'n Lyin'
Windows OS X -- Leo Pard
Windows OS X -- Snowl Epard

(sorry, the 1st one, Mount'n Lyin' brazenly copied from a comment on Ars)

Or as I've heard suggested elsewhere, Microsoft could use the <adjective> <animal> naming convention:
Abscessed Albatross
Bubonic Bat
Chlamydic Chigger
Dyspeptic Deertick
. . . .
Masturbating Monkey
etc.


Buy why would Microsoft scrap Windows 9 and go to Windows 10?

Because Microsoft had promised Windows 9 as a free upgrade to (some) Windows 8 users, and viewed this as a way to screw over Windows 8 users a second time. (cue evil laughter and mustache twirling)

Notice Windows 9 on Wikipedia now redirects to Windows 10.

Linux to Microsoft: Changing the name or the graphics won't make you cool.
Apple to Microsoft: Culture is more than something that grows in your ears.

My mathematical model tells me that they will keep the show going for as long as possible as long as ratings are good. Then it will suddenly end. Maybe on a cliffhanger.

You step on the accelerator. Chemical reactions occur within thousands of small cells, instantly releasing vast amounts of pent up energy as huge volumes of electrons are forced through the path of least resistance through the motors that propel the vehicle. The huge torque of electric motors causes sudden intense acceleration that pushes you back in your seat. The car gains speed. Faster. Faster.

Finally, it reaches MECO1 and the back half of the car falls away and gently glides back to earth to soft land vertically at the launch pad.

India was able to do a Mars satellite so cheaply by cutting lots of corners that NASA would have required.

For example, India failed to generate documents necessary to form a committee that would make plans to do a study on how to begin planning the mission. Definitely cutting corners.

SpaceX could still face a major setback if states make SpaceX sell launches only through dealer networks.

You've got it wrong. This is not talking about Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives, this is talking about how to protect The Pirate Bay data from a specific brand of insecticide.

Apple needs to work on putting copy protection onto floppy disks. That worked out quite well before.

Can't Be Pirated is the holy grail of the copyright idiots. It's more important than profit, fame or success. It won't let common sense stand in its way.

The only format that can't be pirated is a format that you cannot listen to. Hey I'm going to encrypt this music and then hand your player the decryption keys! We can try moving the decryption closer and closer to your ears, or to your eyes (as in HDMI), but ultimately it has to interact with your senses and can be picked up using sensors (mics, cameras).

Please tell me again, how many anti piracy measures have actually been effective?

Nooooooo! Please don't make more songs! (Also do not talk about things he doesn't have a clue about.)
